Hello everyone!

I recently got some dry oak branches that were cut from an ancient dead oak tree that had become a safety hazard in a city park. My brother who gave them to me works as a park arborist, so I know the wood hasn't been treated with any chemicals. The branches have also been sitting in my garage for quite a while, so I'm pretty confident any insects or other critters have already moved out.

I've arranged them in a terracotta pot in my room and was wondering if they'd be suitable for mounting some plants. I have a few orchids and a beautiful Platycerium superbum that was given to me as a gift, and I thought they might look great on the branches.

Would oak be a good wood for mounting epiphytes? If so, what's the best way to do it? Should I mount the plants onto bark or a moss backing first and then attach that to the oak branches, or mount them directly onto the wood?

Also, how does watering work with this kind of setup? Do you just soak the moss, mist regularly, or take the plants off to water them?

I'd really appreciate any advice, tips, or links to good instructional videos. Thanks!

New plant found webbing , washed, and repotted. I soaked with alcohol,neem, and soap just last night. This morning looking a little less perky but no new webbing. When can I spray again this time with insecticide?

Also, I know it's in the rhipsalis family, but does anyone know which exactly ?

Hello everyone!! I am constantly running into the issue of discovering fascinating and beautiful cacti, diving into deep research, and fantasizing about the perfect place for it to sit in my collection but not being able to find one for sale! I've found incredible sellers over time but I find them too late or they just don't have it in their collection! :( Does anyone have any reliable sellers that you know carry Schlumbergera lutea, Barra do sul rhipsalis, rhipsalis neves armondii, rhipsalis Weberocereus Biolleyii, lepismium lumbricoides, rhipsalis puniceodiscus, or a rhipsalis hoelleri? THANK YOU!!!! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Hello everybody, I made something today and I thought the people here might appreciate it.

I like crafting things, and I wanted something that could contain epiphytes at an angle/shape more similar to their natural habitat. Behold; the storophyte! An epiphyte container shaped to fit the corner of a storage rack :)

hope you enjoy it ❤

Google says it's dragon fruit epiphyte. Does it want to climb? Is this a growth normal or is it reaching for Sun? Images show it looking like a huge tree obviously this is store bought so it's not going to look anything like that but how is it supposed to work lol
